Once in a while it pays to be at the right place at the right time.

The crazy prices were discussed in this thread as well: http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/s...e=0#Post1706854I feel like an idiot because I saw the DTW thread (I'm only a few miles from that airport) but didn't click on it for several days and missed all the cheap flights. I could have pulled the trigger on a sxm trip with that kind of savings but will probably just travel in the states this winter.

Somewhat but many cities, especially most cities NOT on the East coast experience air fares much higher all year round.

Air fare from western Canada was totally ridiculous this year so far... Watching for the past 2 months and it's steadily goes up.... I should've bought the tickets back in June for just over $800 but we hadn't Finland the rental deal. Now they are over $1260....

I check almost daily and sometimes multiple times a day. It must be just a very few select cities and dates as I have not seen anything under $700 from DAY or CVG.

That's the thing I don't get. Airfares from Miami are almost always sky high...

approx a month ago, we got a direcct flight out of Toronto for 666.00 taxes in return. early morning departure exactly what we like so we are in our condo by noon, with groceries and booze,,and at a beach somewhere by 3! We in the past paid as high as 900 per person. So, this is a deal. The lowest we ever got was in 2014 for 547.00 return. Always a direct flight, do not like to waste time. Will be landing in SXM on Jan 7, 2017....can't wait. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" />
